    Question: I saw someone saying on the forums chat about overclocking your CPU to make your games run faster and get more fps. I was wondering how I could do this.

    Download MSI Afterburner, then tweak your graphics card. However, overclocking isn't easy and requires patience. Overdoing it can damage or even destroy your graphics card. You need to overclock it in increments, then stress-test it using FurMark (basically pushes your GPU to the limits). If you start seeing glitches/artifacts or your GPU is seriously overheating, then you know you've overclocked it too much.

    However, note that you need a dedicated video card to overclock!!! Integrated graphics cannot be overclocked (ex. Intel HD Graphics, which is integrated into the Intel i-series processors or any standalone APU whatsoever)

    If this made no sense to you then ask me boi
